The Democracy of Objects - Redrawing Reality: A Journey into Object-Oriented Ontology

Levi R. Bryant

Summary

In "The Democracy of Objects," Levi R. Bryant presents a compelling exploration of object-oriented ontology (OOO), positing that all entities, regardless of their nature or scale, possess equal agency and significance. Bryant's literary style blends philosophical rigor with accessible language, making complex ideas in metaphysics and contemporary philosophy digestible to a broader audience. Contextually situated within the larger framework of speculative realism, the book challenges anthropocentric paradigms, inviting readers to reconsider the relationships between humans and non-human entities, thus offering a radical shift in how we perceive the material world. Levi R. Bryant, a prominent philosopher and a significant proponent of OOO, draws inspiration from a diverse array of philosophical traditions, including the works of Graham Harman and Quentin Meillassoux. His academic endeavors are focused on understanding the implications of a non-anthropocentric approach to being and existence. This foundational perspective not only informs his theoretical investigations but also drives the urgency of his arguments in "The Democracy of Objects," where he attempts to dismantle traditional hierarchies of existence. This book is highly recommended for those intrigued by contemporary philosophy, environmental ethics, and the intersections of technology and society. Bryant's provocative insights serve as an essential guide for navigating the increasingly vital discourse around the agency of objects and the reconfiguration of our understanding of reality. Engage with this text to broaden your intellectual horizons and challenge conventional philosophical notions.

What We Don't Do - Inaction in...

Nick Cooney

When we think about whether we are good people leading a good life, we usually think about actions. Bad people do bad things that hurt others. Good people do good things that help others, and they avoid doing bad things. Simple. 
 
 
 
But while our actions certainly have consequences, today our inactions have far greater and far graver consequences. Bad actions can result in the suffering of a few or several dozen others; inaction can result in the extreme misery of thousands. 
 
 
 
For nearly our entire history as a species, we lived in small groups with minimal resources, leaving our ability to help others limited. Thanks to massive global populations, huge wealth disparities, and modern technologies, the average person now has more power to improve the lives of others than nearly anyone who has ever lived. But the flip side of that great power is the dizzyingly high cost of inaction, in which lives can hang in the balance with each dollar and hour of time we spend. 
 
 
 
This is a book about what we don't do. It's about our failures to act and the suffering others endure as a result. It's also about the incredible good that can be achieved when we cultivate an internal drive to do more.
